Musnad Ahmad — Hadith #45504

Waki’ told us, Muja’ bin Yahya told us, on the authority of Abdullah bin Imran Al-Ansari, on the authority of Ali, and Al-Masoudi, on the authority of Uthman bin Abd. Allah bin Hurmuz, on the authority of Nafi’ bin Jubayr, on the authority of Ali, may God be pleased with him, said: The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, was not Short or long, he has a large head and beard, two palms and feet, he has large ankles, his face is covered with redness, and he is tall. Al-Masribah: When he walked, he would lean forward as if he were being lifted from a rock. I had never seen anyone like him before or after him, may God bless him and grant him peace, and he said Abu Al-Nadr Al-Masrabah, and he said, “As if it were falling from a spring.” Abu Qatan said, “Al-Masrabah,” and Yazid said, “Al-Masrabah.”
